Payments, Rent and Charges 

We will send you a new Customer Payment Reference. If you need to make a payment before you receive it you can call us on 01772 667002 and let us know. 

The easiest way to pay your rent is by Direct Debit, as payments are taken automatically and you will not need to make any changes to this.

If you prefer to make a manual payment each month or week or for a payment arrangement you have in place, you have the option to pay through your online account. You can log in by clicking the link on any page on our website. You will need the new Customer Payment Reference we send you to set up your account or you can click the link if we send you one by email. 

Or if you prefer, you can pay by telephone by calling 01772 667002 and selecting the automated telephone payment option. You will need your new Customer Payment Reference when you call. 

If you need to set up a new Standing Order after 1 October 2026 you will need your new Customer Payment Reference and our account details which are: 

Places for People Living+ Limited 

Sort code 20-69-93  

Account number 13937216 

If you have an AllPay card for Elim, you can continue to use it after 1 October. However, if your card is lost or damaged, PfP will be unable to replace it, which means you will no longer be able to make in-person payments at PayPoint locations. There are different payment methods available, and if you would prefer to switch to one of these, please let us know and we will be happy to help. ​

If you are in receipt of Housing Benefit or Universal Credit, you will need to tell them about your new landlord when you receive your Section 48 notice.  

Future statements will be from PfP and will be sent out to you quarterly if you have an arrears balance. Otherwise, statements will be available to you at any time through your online account, or you can request one to be emailed or posted out to you.
